Poem Category: Australian

White frost
the rain puddle
making ice of the moon.

The early worm turns …
a magpie
scissoring half.

My guitar riff
a breath of jasmine
has crossed the room.

We drive home late
trucks racing trucks
throughout the rain.

It happened last night
grape vine just old enough
pregnant with buds.

Frozen lizard’s
crawl to the sun
thawing her , thawing her.

Bell bird
refills the emptiness
of a whitening fog.

His short apology,
and how the chocolates after
cling and cling.

Tourist town
exchanging trinkets
outside the gift shop.

Father looks away
so soon all her good-byes
from her wedding party.
